Jeju unfortunately missed the chance to score an additional goal. Nam Tae-hee drove the ball forward in a counterattack situation in 2 minutes of extra time in the first half. It was a good scoring opportunity because the number of defenders was two and the striker was three. However, after attempting to break through, Nam Tae-hee's last choice, shooting, which was considered shooting and passing, hit the side net and swallowed the disappointment. The first half ended with Jeju's 1-0 lead.
At the start of the second half, Seoul stepped up its attack by removing Ryu Jae-moon and putting in Moon Seon-min. However, Jeju widened the gap by scoring an additional goal early in the second half. In the fifth minute of the second half, Lee Chang-min's low and fast mid-range shot, which caught the ball from the left side of the box arc, headed to the corner of the Seoul goal. Kang Hyun-moo allowed an additional goal without even flying.

In the 26th minute of the second half, Yazan, who quickly participated in Lucas' cross, finished with a header to shake the Jeju net.

In the 42nd minute of the second half, Lee Seung-mo connected Lingard's cross with a header, but Ahn Chan-ki, who was replaced, defended well to overcome the crisis.
